medical records are confidential and cannot be divulged except through a court order.

Exemption of treatment records can be understood from the attached decision

if you are yourself a patient (or its your dependent spouse or kid a patient), you may directly seek copy of all medical records, from the hospital simply by sending a regd letter request. No need of RTI. Its the right of the patient to know what treatments given/ being prescribed and what are the alternatives.

no,

 

the same information is confidenational and personal information

the PIO can deny under sec 8(1)e

please read : (e) information available to a person in his fiduciary relationship, unless the competent authority is satisfied that the larger public interest warrants the disclosure of such information

I am reproducing excerpts from MEDICAL COUNCIL OF INDIA NOTIFICATION New Delhi, dated 11th March, 2002, (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics) Regulations, 2002, :

 

Section 1.3.2. If any request is made for medical records either by the patients / authorised attendant or legal authorities involved, the same may be duly acknowledged and documents shall be issued within the period of 72 hours.

Therefore one will need of consent/ authorisation of adult patient, if any other person than patient is asking copy of medical records.
